Default Geminids 12/12-13

Went outside ~3:00am EST, for approx 35 minutes. Clear sky. Counted
~12-15 Geminids. Most were mag 2-4, and did not leave any trails.

I had 110 last night on my camera, 179 total the last three nights.
And also:

Puppid-Velid PUP 16
Monocerotid MON 29
chi Orionid XOR 16
sigma Hydrid HYD 29
46P 46P 8
Sporadic SPO 39

The 46P meteors are part of a new shower from Comet Wirtanen.
